The Mystery at Jamestown (Real Kids! Real Places!)

The Mystery at Jamestown: First Permanent English Colony in America! - Carole Marsh Christina and Grant are on the loose again. This time they are in Historic Virginia, trying to find out who is stealing bones at Jamestown. With new pals Courtney and Alex, they are determined to find the thief!Carol Marsh writes another "sort of" mystery. The kids in this book receive clues from the bad guys to help them discover them. In the process they learn lots about the historic site they are visiting, but in this case, I am wondering if the author even visited the location. Being very familiar with historic Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown - felt like the details of the location had some inaccuracies along with murkiness. It's too bad - as there is so much great stuff in this area that could have even added to the story.My oldest loves these books, so we will continue to read, but I'm not very impressed with this latest one.
